Welcome Alumni!

Welcome to the Jefferson School of Health Professions alumni page! Please pardon our appearance as we are currently updating our website to include new tools and resources for our alumni including an online directory, class notes, mentorship and career resources, blogs, message boards, and photo albums. We encourage you to come back and visit often as we are constantly updating our site.

Who We Are

The Association's purpose is to promote and support Thomas Jefferson University and the School of Health Professions by fostering philanthropy and lifelong engagement with alumni, students and the Jefferson family.

Annual Fund

Jefferson School of Health Professions Annual Fund provides for the school’s most immediate needs. Annual gifts from Health Professions alumni are vital to supporting departmental scholarships, providing innovative training, conducting leading-edge research and maintaining our facilities for current and future students.

Here are some ways the JSHP Annual Fund makes a direct impact:

Scholarships and Financial Aid: The cost of education continues to rise. Last year, 40% of JSHP applicants were awarded institutional scholarships, thanks to the generous support of donors like you.

Interprofessional Education: JSHP students have multiple opportunities to participate with students and healthcare professionals from other disciplines. Your support enables the Jefferson Interprofessional Education Center (JCIPE) to improve patient care through the implementation and evaluation of patient-centered, interprofessional education throughout the Thomas Jefferson University curriculum.

Educational Innovation: Our Faculty strive to develop innovative instructional techniques to ensure that students ground their classroom and clinical experiences in evidence-based practice.

Health Professions Academic Building: Construction of our new Academic Building located at 901 Walnut Street is will be completed in December 2011
